    at lunch-time Paddy went home and would not go to school any more. Next day when the estate-agent was looking for his bag of money he asked Paddy did he find it. Paddy said he did. Nora said he did not. He asked Paddy what day he found it and the latter said the day before he went to school. The estate-agent said "go away you fool you, when did you go to school?" So Nora and Paddy had the bag of money and bought a horse and lived happy every after."
